Humans do not behave as if a spoken word is arbitrarily related to a mental act (or thought).&nbsp;&nbsp;Humans act as if words and thoughts are one thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than attributing this behavior to&nbsp;<em>an innate trait evolved under conditions where a parole (manual-brachial word gesture) images and indicates its referent (by way of the natural sign-qualities of icons and indexes, respectively),<\/em>&nbsp;the modern scientist must attribute the behavior to truncated material and efficient causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case,&nbsp;<em>the situating efficient and material causes<\/em>&nbsp;are due to&nbsp;<em>a system<sub>3b.<\/sub>&nbsp;Both mother tongue and specialized discourses<sub>3b<\/sub>&nbsp;<\/em>operate on<em>&nbsp;the potential of &#8216;laws of the system&#8217;<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0847 Here is a fundamental interscope containing semiology<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;and structuralism<sub>3b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Slide01-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Slide01-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Slide01-5.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Slide01-5-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0848 On the content level, the normal context of Saussure&#8217;s semiology<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;brings the actuality of the dyad {langue as matter<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;[substantiates] parole as form<sub>2af<\/sub>}<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;into relation with the potential of &#8216;signifier and signified&#8217;<sub>1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleverly, the content-level potential<sub>1a<\/sub>&nbsp;buries&nbsp;<em>the evolution of language in the milieu of hand-talk<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>the ambiguity of the co-existence of signifier and signified<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can a signifier exist without a signified?&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course not. They must be belong to a monad, a single element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can a thought about &#8216;something&#8217; exist without an image or indication of that &#8216;something&#8217;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does a manual-brachial word-gesture picture or point to its referent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0849 Ironically, both Charles Peirce (1839-1914 AD) and Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) live right before&nbsp;<em>the monumental, civilization transforming battles among the enlightenment gods<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Peirce focuses on&nbsp;<em>the nature of signs as triadic relations<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Saussure focuses on&nbsp;<em>language as a thing&nbsp;<\/em>(that is, a dyadic actuality).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0850 The above figure tells the tale.&nbsp;&nbsp;The content and situation level actualities<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;are dyads, as suggested by Saussure.&nbsp;Normal contexts<sub>3<\/sub>&nbsp;and potentials<sub>1&nbsp;<\/sub>are presumed in Saussure&#8217;s tradition, but explicit in terms of Peirce&#8217;s categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The category-based nested form is a triadic relation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Triadic relations constitute the human niche.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hominins adapt into the potential of triadic relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content-level appears to be a reasonable expression of Saussure&#8217;s semiology because it expresses a triadic relation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not only that, but&nbsp;<em>the content-level category-based nested form<\/em>&nbsp;manifests&nbsp;<em>all four of Aristotle&#8217;s causalities<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The dyadic actuality,<\/em>&nbsp;corresponding to&nbsp;<em>Peirce&#8217;s category of secondness,<\/em>&nbsp;parallels&nbsp;<em>Aristotle&#8217;s hylomorphe, the home of material causes and one terminus for efficient causation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0851 Here is a picture of the category-based nested form as a manifestation of Aristotle&#8217;s causalities.&nbsp;&nbsp;Peirce&#8217;s category of secondness contains two contiguous real elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;For Aristotle&#8217;s hylomorphe,&nbsp;<em>the one real element<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>matter<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The other real element<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>form<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The contiguity<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>[substantiates]<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>[substance].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

Russia, under a socialist regime, which extols its scientific credentials.&nbsp;&nbsp;Academics in literature adapt to regime incentives by adopting Saussure&#8217;s scientific approach to language.&nbsp;&nbsp;Saussure&#8217;s semiology is regarded as a scientific theory explaining the phenomena of language in our civilized world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the fundament interscope starts with Saussure&#8217;s semiology<sub>3a<\/sub>&nbsp;as a content-level nested form.&nbsp;&nbsp;The actuality<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;is {langue<sub>2am<\/sub>&nbsp;[substantiates] parole<sub>2af<\/sub>}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third,&nbsp;<em>the category-based nested form<\/em>&nbsp;manifests&nbsp;<em>all three of Peirce&#8217;s categories<\/em>&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;<em>all four of Aristotle&#8217;s causalities<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth (and yet to be discussed), Lotman&#8217;s and Upsenskij&#8217;s treatment of history and semiology starts with the fundament interscope.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Semiology<\/em>&nbsp;characterizes&nbsp;<em>a content-level interscope<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>History<\/em>&nbsp;enters the picture as&nbsp;<em>a literature-based situation-level form<sub>2bf<\/sub><\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0853 If these implications stand, then Upsenskij&#8217;s Latin title, &#8220;history as a species of semiotics&#8221;, will convert into &#8220;history as a species of literary text&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0841 The article before me is published by&nbsp;Sign System Studies&nbsp;(volume
